Description

The name sums it up pretty well! A large, high-riding hopper pattern that will smack the surface and draw some attention! I great fly to use on heavier dry-dropper rigs. Hook Size 10

Field Notes

Large hopper pattern designed to ride high on the surface and attract trout in warm-weather terrestrial hatches. It works well as a dry fly or as the top fly in a heavier dry-dropper rig when fish are looking up near banks, grass edges, and riffles.

Pros

  • High-riding profile stays visible on the water
  • Good choice for dry-dropper setups
  • Attractive terrestrial imitation for surface feeding fish

Cons

  • Large profile may spook fish in very clear or pressured water
  • Best suited to seasons when hoppers are present
